Hope you are having a great weekend!
Last weekend I posted about my newly painted kitchen island and asked if it worked with the current green wall:
Some of you really love it, most agreed with me that the 2 colors fought with each other. Then, Heather at Setting for Four left me a comment with a color suggestion with links to pictures of Benjamin Moore's Wythe Blue. I almost cried when I saw it, I loved it so much!! I slept on it a couple days... then ran over to our local Ace Hardware to get a gallon mixed up. {Remind me next time I buy paint that I DO NOT need any more roller covers!!} I couldn't wait to get home and get started. The paint was lovely and covered in one coat. The whole thing took me less than 2 hours. That's what I call {almost} instant gratification!
And here, is the NEW and improved Nutmeg Place kitchen:
Yep, our cats get on the counter. We've tried for years to keep them off, but have decided at this point - our house is their house. We just sanitize the counters very frequently.
I went to Ikea and half the store was closed for a 'facelift', what a bummer! But, I picked up a couple more fakie plants and these darling pots:
SO cute!!
Kita's rose bush is so heavy with roses I was afraid some of the branches might snap. So, I cut some and put them in a little vase. Aren't they beautiful?? I can't wait for the peonies to open! Her roses smell as pretty as they look.
So, what do we think of the Wythe Blue?? It's actually Benjamin Moore's color of the year for 2012. Sooooooo in tune with the trends I am! Or, Heather is! <3 <3 <3
Let me know what you think!
Enjoy your weekend lovies!

LOVE the blue! Makes me wish I could paint right now...my kitchen would be that color by the end of the weekend! :-)
ReplyWOW!!! This color does look AMAZING on your kitchen walls!! Much better than the green and compliments the tans/taupes/greys so beautifully. I am so excited that you like it! I had so much fun helping you out, I love solving design delimmas! Now I really have to try this color out myself soon! Heather :)
ReplyMuch improved Meg. You've brought the kitchen out of the 90s builder grade era and into the modern, custom-look 21st century.
ReplyAnother Heather agrees!!!! Whythe Blue is one of my favorite colours - I have it in my famous bathroom. I love how it looks in you kitchen.
ReplyWow....your kitchen is GORGEOUS!!! So tastefully done!
ReplyMeg...it's gorgeous! I am in love with blue right now! How cheerful!

fab-u-lous! and i just saw those ikea planters featured somewhere with chaklboard vinyl labels. if i could tolerate the parking lot at ikea, i'd run over there and grab a few.
ReplyThis is a great color and it pulls the whole kitchen color pallet together. I love the new look.

This looks great! What a huge difference from a pretty small shift in colors.
ReplyIt definitely makes the kitchen look brighter, fresher, etc :) Great color choice!
I LOVE it! It is gorgeous! You did great. It is really perfect. Your kitchen is beautiful! I love your sign.
ReplyOh Meg I LOVE IT!!! How perfectly beautiful. Isn't it great when you find the perfect colour & you just know it?! I'd be painting the island the same colour... ;P
ReplyHave a great day, I'm installing a window. YIKES!
LUV LUV LUV Wythe Blue!! I discovered it quite a few years ago and painted three of my wicker chairs in it. I've never grown tire of it. It's THE perfect blue/gray, isn't it? Your kitchen is so cheery with the blue in it now! Love it!
